Our children need us...

21% of children 9-17 years old experience symptoms or an emotional disorder each year. Mental health services currently available help only 25% of these children.

The Problem

America is grappling with two major childhood issues:

  1. An alarming increase in child obesity;
  2. A rising number of mental health issues among young children.

Childhood obesity and mental illness have long been directly and indirectly connected.

Minds of Steel recognizes this linkage, aiming to uniquely address both these childhood issues simultaneously.
